Lunch: Neither a Fashion nor a Temporary
Whenever I get lunch from Mehfil Indian at 2nd and Folsom (which is often), I choose whichever daily lunch special has the most amusing description. Today it was the #2, Ajwaini Bhaji:
Use of herbs in Indian cooking is neither a fashion nor a temporary but a normal way or ordinary life and Ajwain (oregano) is the favorite one. In the offered dish, original recipe is from your host’s grandmother, we lavishly use the gravy of young leaves of fresh oregano with vegetables like blue lake beans, red creamer, cauliflower, carrots, eggplants & mushrooms with some spices and cook them
It was, I daresay, lavish.
